What Causes Headache,lethargy And Loss Of Appetite?

my 16 year old son has had a temp between 38 - 40 degrees celsius for the past week. Tonsilitis was first diagnosed and anti-biotics given. This has subsided, but he still has headache, lethargy and no appetite and has eaten very little.He also has not moved his bowels for a week (fibre supplement and gentle laxatives have been given in last couple of days). Blood test was normal (glandular fever discounted)
